#12273 closed feature request (maybelater)

Better support for sites with LOTS of pages

Description

The default page listing is inadequate for sites utilise Pages as their main content type.

An option to collapse the page listing and hide "all" sub-pages (only showing top-level) would dramatically improve the UI making it easier to find pages within the WordPress structure.

Example:

Current Page View

Page 1
-SubPage 1.1
--SubSubPage 1.1.1
--SubSubPage 1.1.2
-SubPage 1.2
-SubPage 1.3
Page 2
-SubPage 2.1
-SubPage 2.2
--SubSubPage 2.2.1
--SubSubPage 2.2.2

Proposed Page View

Default View

Page 1 [+] (< click to expand)
Page 2 [+]

Expanded View

Page 1 [-] 
-SubPage 1.1 [+] (< click to expand)
-SubPage 1.2
-SubPage 1.3
Page 2 [+]

...

Page 1 [-]
-SubPage 1.1 [-]
--SubSubPage 1.1.1
--SubSubPage 1.1.2 (> no further levels)
-SubPage 1.2
-SubPage 1.3
Page 2 [+]

This is related to front-end page menu management so isn't relevant.

Relevant plugins (that I know of):

Page Tree is closer to the requirement laid out in this ticket Page Tree but is over simplified and doesn't replace the Page Edit screen - it creates a new, separate admin listing.

I'd like to see this in 3.3. Simple expand/collapse per nested level on the edit.php?post_type=page screen. If someone started working on a patch, maybe we could get it in early.

Another plugin: Advanced Page Manager.

Every solution I've seen so far is perfectly hideous. I'd like something that looks native: a view switcher icon on the Pages screen that would toggle a single-level page list. Pages with children would have an action row link or icon to display the child pages.

I have a stub of a new plugin over here, if anyone wants to work on this: https://github.com/sillybean/Hide-Deep-Pages

Closing as maybelater. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 2 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch). On the verge of plugin territory in my opinion.

I'll toss https://wordpress.org/plugins/bu-navigation/ into the mix for anyone coming across this ticket needing a good plugin suggestion for managing many, many pages.
